\n

As a Realtor, mortgage rates are always something of which I want to be aware. In this business, many of my buyers borrow money, which makes sense because they are, quite often, making the biggest purchases of their lives! Also, the cost to borrow has been so low for so long.<\/p>\n

Well, what I am telling my buyers now is that early 2018 is the time to buy a new home whether you live here in Miami or elsewhere in the country. Why? Because mortgage rates are expected to rise over the course of this year. We have been hearing this for years, but it seems now really is the time. According to Kiplinger.com<\/a>, they will not be drastic: a 30-year fixed rate loan will increase by approximately half of a point. However, when you are making a big purchase, like that of a new house, any increase can feel significant! In an article published by Shamrock Financial<\/a> in 2015 it recognizes that for \u201cevery 0.5% increase in interest rate your purchasing power may be decreased by 4 to 5 percent,\u201d and \u201cfor every 1% rate increase, your purchasing power may be decreased by 9 to 11 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you are ready to purchase a new home, then you might as well do it now. Now that we are in the New Year, fresh inventory is coming on the market so there is ample opportunity to find your dream home! Lock that property down while interest rates are still a bargain and enjoy those interest savings for years to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
